Brisnet down?

[sammy the sage]

at least w/the free stuff from everybody currently...anybody else having problems? :bang:

[kevb]

Twinspires.com and brisnet.com are down.

[DJofSD]

Grumble, grumble, grumble -- still not available.

Could this day turn into a day for golf?

[cnollfan]

Both are still down as of 8:30 a.m. CDT.

[Capper Al]

9:45 EST not connecting.

[Grits]

Great... And this is NYRA's Stars and Stripes Day! Hope this is straightened out quickly.

[DJofSD]

It appears to be back.

No -- spoke too soon. I had a home page screen -- no, not out of my cache -- but as soon as I tried to refresh it, no mas.

[Tom]

Not here.
Fortunately, I visited Who Bet last night.

[sammy the sage]

got a bad feeling...they'll probably follow the DRF model...just charge FOR everything pretty much... :bang:

[HUSKER55]

HAS anyone called them to complain?

[Shelby]

UGH no Twinspires! Site won't load for me, it just hangs.

[Shelby]

TwinSpires.com ‏@TwinSpires 26m
Thanks, everyone, for sharing your experience this morning. We're addressing the issue. Keep letting us know what you see.

Edited to say:

Odd that they are BOTH down.

[Grits]

What you all reckon that ...sharing your experience this morning.... has primarily consisted of? :lol:

TFUS will be more than adequate.

[Johnny V]

Twinspires is up. Just was on the site.

[Grits]

Still nothing here. Maybe CDI is irritated over NYRA's incredible card today. Reminding everyone, yet again, that CDI is insignificant a total of 364 days a year. SLOTS, people, SLOTS. This is the Promise Land.

Meanwhile, gentlemen, for those interested in an alternative...preferring Kentucky racing, entries are up at DRF for the Pea Patch, home of the summertime, slobber-knocking 5k claimer. ;)

[cnollfan]

I'm still not able to connect to Twinspires or Brisnet, Johnny V's experience notwithstanding.

[mishka]

11:15 AM EST and down for me. Also had some problems yesterday.

[Johnny V]

Twinspires is still up. I just logged back on and it is working fine. I was not able to access he site previously all morning however..

[Shelby]

I just got in to Twinspires.

[Clocker]

Bris appears to be up and working.

[cnollfan]

1040 a.m. CDT neither is working for me yet. Cleared out cache and tried in Chrome and IE.

[TexasDolly]

Brisnet still down for me too.
TD

[DJofSD]

Bris appears to be up and working.
Not for me as of 10 seconds ago.

My own personal drop-dead time is fast approaching ...

[Mike at A+]

Brisnet fine here (Eastern, PA) and I made some early bets on Twin Spires with no issues. There was a DNS issue earlier on Brisnet but repeated reloads worked and I see no other problems.

[DJofSD]

If there is any doubt regarding the browser, don't use one.

Go to the command line and use ping:

ping www.brisnet.com

If it is still down, ping will tell you after a short delay.

[Maryland Owner]

Twinspires down on home computer but up on my Iphone

Interesting.

I just used an internet service to ping and to try a trace -- still get nada.

[KingChas]

You can still get the free bris pp's, but your going to have to work a little bit today. Manually........ :cool:

http://horseracing.about.com/od/racedayinfo/a/aafree-pps.htm

[DJofSD]

OK, for any one that can get to www.brisnet.com, not Twin Spires, what is the IP address you have for that site?

[mishka]

If there is any doubt regarding the browser, don't use one.

Go to the command line and use ping:

ping www.brisnet.com

If it is still down, ping will tell you after a short delay.

Thanks. Pinged both Brisnet and Twinspires and nada. Can't be found. Just to make sure, I pinged other sites such as cnn.com and all came back okay.

Seems some people out East are up. But nothing for me on West Coast. Packets must be stuck in Denver.

[PhantomOnTour]

Here in Cajunland I can get on TwinSpires but not BRIS

[Sparky13]

Do you think it has something to do with Arthur (the hurricane)? Tried 5 minutes ago and could not get on either Bris or Twin. :confused:

[Clocker]

Doubtful. Both are in Lexington, KY.

[SpotPlays]

Still can't get on either site

[Rutgers]

I’m not able to get on via my home internet (Verizon Fios), but am able to get on my mobile devices (both android & windows phone) using the T-Mobile network.

I also tried accessing via an iphone on Verizon Wireless to no avail.

[098poi]

I can't get into either one. Are these 2 sites related or is the only common denominator Lexington? I looked on Facebook at Twinspires and some people posted they can't get in and of course no response from Twinspires.

[cnollfan]

There is some relationship because if you bet on TwinSpires you get free Brisnet pps for that track.

[coljesep]

Wasn't DRF collapsed like a month ago? Now these guys. Unreal.

[Mike at A+]

My understanding of DNS issues is that one person can get in and the guy across the street can't. It all depends on the path one computer takes to get to a destination.

Might be. When I first started seeing posts here I tried both. Haven't had access at Bris all morning. Twinspires....an hour ago I could sign on with all functions. As a minute ago, nada.

[coljesep]

Embarrassing on a day like this

[Tom]

Nothing for either site here.
I have $14.10 in Xpressbet that Inever use.
Looks like a big Woo Hoo holiday for me.
This game suck so bad it is not worth bothering with anymore.

[Dahoss2002]

Still can't get on here yet either. Have to use the Xpressbet account

[Chevy49]

This is not what I needed today! At ALL!

[duncan04]

Twinspires is working for me except getting pp's which I guess is on Brisnet's end?

[Dahoss2002]

cleared browser cache and now I can get on

[trifecta]

I just now was able to access both TwinSpires and Brisnet.

[duncan04]

Now everything is working for me! :jump:

[cnollfan]

Working for me too.

[Mike at A+]

This reminds me of that Twilight Zone episode "The Monsters Are Due On Maple Street" where the aliens turn off the electricity and mess with other things we normally take for granted and the people go all ape shit.

[Secondbest]

Bris is still down here in Queens.

[Clocker]

Bris is still down here in Queens.

A lot of reports seem to indicate that it varies a lot depending on your provider.

[Secondbest]

Was able to get on by going directly to trainers web site. Went to Pletcher and was able to get the pps for races his horses entered in.

[Secondbest]

Down again Can't get anything

[Secondbest]

Later for them. Just got Timeform for the rest of the day at belmont

[Tom]

No Who Bet for today, TS up and down, finally gave up.
None of the cards today are worth the aggravation.
This game is not worth the effort.

[Clocker]

None of the cards today are worth the aggravation.


I should have made the same decision. After going through all the agony of a 10 race card at Woodbine, I ended up playing only one race and losing.

The good news is that Woodbine looks better tomorrow, and PPs for the entire card are free at Bris right now.

[Al Gobbi]

twinspires down again as of 12:45am ET.

[Some_One]

Betfair is down as well right now, wonder if it is some global DDOS / extortion thing going around.

[cordep17]

No free PPs on trks2day, tomorrows races are there though. Could have just been a few day thing
